LAVENDER LATTE

This one’s for all you lavender lovers, and those of you who are curious about lavender lattes. You don’t need any fancy equipment to make your own lavender latte at home! Its simple, fun, and a unique way to infuse your everyday latte with some herbal love.

If you’re able to find some culinary lavender, I highly recommend infusing your own homemade syrup. If you don’t already grow it in your garden, it’s easy to get your hands on at most health foods stores. I get my culinary lavender from the local health foods market that’s just down the street from me. Making your own lavender syrup is far from intimidating, it’s actually quite simple and effortless to make, and it can be used in so many ways! It’s the perfect way to amp up your latte (hot or iced) to enjoy on a relaxing morning, or to infuse your cocktails with on an evening of celebrations. Gin is my cocktail drink of choice, I love adding a dash of lavender syrup into club soda with a splash of gin. So good! You can also add lavender syrup into baking recipes, or even lavender infused nice cream. The possibilities are endless!

Directions

Remove from heat and allow to steep and cool for 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on how intense you want the lavender in your syrup to taste).

Strain out the lavender and pour into an airtight jar or bottle. Keep stored in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
